DESCRIPTION
Bodh Gaya, also known as Budh Gaya, is a sacred site in Buddhism, featuring the ancient Mahabodhi Temple. This temple, dating back to the 6th century, was prominently featured on vintage travel posters created by Indian State Railways during the 1920s and 1930s, capturing the Siddhartha Festival celebrations. These posters depict a festive atmosphere with colourful clothing, painted elephants, and large flags.
The area surrounding the temple is bustling with tourists and worshippers commemorating the life and teachings of Buddha, who attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at this very spot in Bodhgaya, India.
The temple's intricate details are awe-inspiring, and the presence of people and elephants around it gives an idea of its massive scale. Bodh Gaya has been a revered pilgrimage destination for both Hindus and Buddhists for centuries.

About the Art form
Poster art has always been a powerful form of visual communication, in addition to being a true art form of its own kind.
Travel posters emerged in the late 19th century, becoming popular for promoting tourism.
